1. Racecar Jim Says: i have some scottsdales 20 fender emblems and the are very weather beaten. i would like to redo them w/o haveing to find new one wich would be extremly hard. is there any way that i can repolish them and paint them? if so what are the ways? and how could i?

2. Please punctuate properly, folks Says: Hi Jim,

I don't know what your emblems look like - can you email me a link or photo? It would help if you use a Macro mode on the camera, to get in REAL close. Are they just chrome badges, or fender arch extensions to fit wider wheels under?

I'm at nelkyopel @ yahoo dot co dot uk

remove paint, tooth paste to polish, then liquid mask, then repaint.

or take it to a sport trophy shop for advice. on complicated ones, i have them do it.

4. Ride the Tiger Down The River Euphrates Says: Your best bet is to pop them off and take them somewhere you can work on them on a bench or something.

If they have chrome on them that is rusted or worn, you might have to find someplace that can dip them for you, and then re-paint if necessary.
